Hmmm, if I would pick Hayate to pair up with, I would pick anyone. I mean, would've been sad if the author put Nagi and Hayate even though the fans want someone else to pair up with Hayate? It would be like Ranma 1/2. Okay, I know I said a stupid thing but it's a really hard choice.

P.S: By the way. I'm AthenaxHayate fan!!!!! My second choice would be HayatexHina!!!!! Lastly, Hayate and Nagi!!!!!

I think that nagi will be the best match for hayate because when Nishizawa the hamster confesses to him nagi's picture (the sad one) was shown to his mind... and didn't accept Nishizawa's feelings for him~!!

Nagi go Nagi!! but I think hayate likes nagi.. Hayate cares about Nagi not like a master he is over protective to her... And even Nagi sold him to Isumi he even comes backs to her GO NAGI GO NAGI YOU CAN DO IT!

Ruka has the same color hair as hayate and not only that, but her parents also abandone her with a debt of 150 million yen, who else could share all this unfortunate events as good as ruka, plus, she is cute

but from the poll, i would choose Athena, those 2 have a lot of background

My vote would be hinagiku, she's awesome, but since the heroine is nagi, it's normal that hayate to end up with her, which would really suck, but if there is a twist in it, like hayate ending up with hinagiku, that would be real awesome, but if he ends up with nagi or ayumu, THEN I'LL REALLY HATE THE SHOW!

hayate will end up with nagi... its because of her promise that he will protect Nagi forever ,using his own life, until death.....I like those two because even if Nagi is way too different with hayate , she is still not giving up... even though she knew that hayate likes normal girls (Nagi is not normal in thinking)....She still do her best so that Hayate will see her the way she is like saying hayate that he is an idiot or turning him down by pretending to be angry....... The look so cute together,, very funny...

It might be late but I still want to join this conversations..
well, for me it is down to either Hinagiku or Athena. I dont think Hayate has any feeling for Nagi except wanting to protect her because she was the one who save him from his debt.
Hinagiku shares many things in common with Hayate and she always helps Hayate..plus I like her since I first saw her..
Athena is Hayate's love interest since long time ago and both still have feelings for each other..

Hina hands down, and maybe a little drunken "fun" with Hina's sister (oneechan)?, based on Hina's sisters lack of alcohol intake clearly makes her a superb candidate for a mistress, but Hayate would not do that. I am just saying =)
im off to enjoy season 4, btw any more extras or different versions out there available for purchase? would love to know
This anime took my by surprise, I am really enjoying so far.
